Hi all,
	I've gota little problem: I've a PB190cs (IDE HD, like the 630, and
68LC040). I've installed NetBSD on a zip cartridge (if you don't know them,
they are seen as a SCSI HD), and thank to the advise of some of you and the
work of Mr Briggs (thank you for your work !), I've solved - or so it seem
 an early problem with the video (using the generic7 kernel): the system
now seem to boot, but at some point (after having sensed the ZIP and even a 
SCSI CD-ROM) he ask me "root device ?" and hang up, leaving the keyboard
ineffective. AFAIK, this could indicate that he doesn't "like" the "Root&Usr" 
A/UX partition on the zip disk (but when I use the minishell in the installer,
I can get the dir whitout problems - excepted an "fstab" error that I attributed to may way of mkfs the partition using approximated parameters), or simply thathe want me to tell him effectively which device (ZIP or CDROM) use to boot:
can anyone more expert than I help me  ? I would appreciate any hint I can get:
unfortunately, I need it for my studies, but I don't know enough of Mac 
programming to think of thinkering with the sources (and I don't own the
instruments to do so). 
	Thank you very much to anyone who can help in any way,and 
sorry to bother you all.

P.S. I've not included the whole page of messages the booting kernel give
to me for sake of brevity: if the request of device only does not suffice,
I can repost a full message.
